The unchanging face – and voice – of singer/songwriter Cassandra Lucas is back on the music scene in 2017, gifting listeners with three new hit singles, paving the way for her solo debut CD.  Known as one-half of platinum selling R&B duo Changing Faces, she has returned to claim her rightful position as one of today's top music talents.

Hailing from East Harlem in New York City, Lucas always loved to sing, as a kid.  She enjoyed watching “Soul Train” on television with her Dad, leading her to attend the East Harlem Performing Arts school, where the singing bug bit her and her favorite music teacher, Mr. Kurt Faucette, helped her nurture her voice, honing her craft by singing in the gospel chorus and performing in musical plays.  He taught Cassandra her first classical song, which she sang in order to get into the renowned “Fame” school in New York, the La Guardia High School of Performing Arts.  That is where she met, and later teamed up with, another local talent, Charisse Rose.  The two performed as backup singers for popular R&B vocalist Sybil, prior to stepping out on their own, forming Changing Faces and becoming a hit-driven, dynamic duo, scoring hits such as “Stroke You Up,” “Foolin' Around” and “G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T,” throughout the mid 90's to the early 2000's.  Their debut self-titled CD hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Charts and throughout their notable career, sold millions of records, with 3 singles in the Top Ten on the Billboard Charts, which is rare for a vocal duo.

Now that's just a little bit on Ms. Lucas.  If you want to learn more or hear more, join us (347) 637-2319 and press 1.

On Wednesday, October 18, 2017, we had the pleasure of having "Riplay" on our show.  What an amazing group of young ladies.  Yes, ladies.  They are very poised, mature and have a keen focus on what they hope to achieve with their music.  They also happen to be sisters.  What they offer to the music world is a message of faith, belief in your dreams and the "it don't matter where you come from, you have to know where you wanna go" attitude.  The message in their music take pages from the issues many youth are dealing with today.  However, they spread positivity.  Take a moment to check out our show and learn more about these amazing young ladies.
